The
Undead of the Warhammer Fantasy Tabletop Wargame (Games Workshop ltd.), were introduced to the game in its very earliest editions. The term itself can refer either to the undivided and all-inclusive army—ranging from ghosts and vampires to skeletons and mummies—or to the separate components which make up the two:
The Tomb Kings of Khemri, and the
Vampire Counts. Up to and including the fifth edition of
Warhammer Fantasy Battle, the Undead represented the combined forces. For the sixth edition,
Games Workshop divided the Undead into two separate armies to represent the chaos which Nagash created when he cast his Spell of Awakening to begin his assault on the lands of the living.
